@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.183.0
Statusline renderer for Claude Code — a JSON5-configurable DSL with daemon-cached data sources, byte-clean palette-aware composition, and OSC8 click verbs.
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package is a Claude Code statusline CLI with no install hook; the prepublishOnly script is not an install-time action. The flagged debugger attach path is an optional session feature, and the reviewed network requests retrieve registry or pricing data without evidence of exfiltration.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Normal CLI invocation; debugger attachment requires the user to enable the statusline feature for the current session.
Impact
No unsolicited data collection or account action was found.
Mechanism
The examined network calls retrieve registry/version and pricing data. The attach feature uses a per-user Unix socket.
AI rationale
The package is a Claude Code statusline CLI with no install hook; the prepublishOnly script is not an install-time action. The flagged debugger attach path is an optional session feature, and the reviewed network requests retrieve registry or pricing data without evidence of exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI and has no install lifecycle hook; its prepublishOnly script is for publishing.
- The debugger-based statusline feature is an explicit on action for the current Claude Code session.
- The attach helper uses a per-user Unix socket for its inspector connection.
- The installer checks the npm registry, and pricing data is fetched from the package’s GitHub repository.
Evidence against
- The attach helper can evaluate code inside Claude Code, but the source describes it as an opt-in feature and limits the inspector socket to the current user.
- The U+FEFF character found in the bundle appears in a whitespace tokenizer; searches found no listed bidi controls.
